september

september is officially upon us. the tempuratures have been near or over 100 degrees for over three months. i'm assured by the locals that the weather will start to cool down and that makes me pretty darn excited because i have a whole new wardrobe that can't be worn until it does. i have cleaned out my closet of all clothes that no longer fit or i haven't worn in years. the hope that i will lose the baby weight and fit into any of them is now gone. and i have to say, it's completely freeing.

i have decided to build upon my new collection of style by picking up pieces here and there. i have always been the type of person that waits until i have worn out my clothing and am then forced to spend hard earned cash to fill the empty spaces with large amounts of inexpensive clothing that never lasts or looks as good as i had thought. i will no longer look for the cheap way to decorate myself. instead, i have been choosing clothing for comfort, durability, and, of course, fashionability. is that even a word?

i have also most always chosen items that require a particular shoe or accessory. no more i say! i will choose pieces that can be worn together, otherwise i will never wear them. is it sad that it has taken well into my 20's to figure this out? you get what you pay for. in most everything. it's most definitely worth the extra money to buy quality products. they fit better, work better, and wear better. it just takes a little more planning and saving to accomplish this. or winning the lottery.
